Fix Teams Mobile Not Showing SharePoint News Comments and Likes
Question details
Users are unable to view comments, likes, and replies on SharePoint news posts when accessing them through the Microsoft Teams mobile application.
- Product
- Microsoft Teams Mobile
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Viewing embedded SharePoint news feeds and announcements within the Teams mobile app interface.
- Observed behavior
- SharePoint news properties such as comments, likes, and replies are completely missing or fail to load on mobile, despite functioning normally on the web or desktop clients.
Verify your internet connection and open the same SharePoint news post on the Teams desktop or web app to confirm whether the comments and likes exist before troubleshooting the mobile app.
Clear Cache and Update the Teams Mobile App
Use this method to resolve synchronization issues caused by outdated app versions or corrupted temporary data on your mobile device.
Mobile applications often cache background data to load pages faster. If this cache becomes corrupted, dynamic content like SharePoint comments and likes may fail to display correctly.
Open the Teams mobile app, tap your profile picture in the top left corner, select 'Settings', and tap 'Sign out'. Wait a few moments, then sign back into your Microsoft account.
For Android users, go to your device Settings > Apps > Teams > Storage, and tap 'Clear Cache'. For iOS users, navigate to device Settings > Teams, and toggle on 'Clear app data' before restarting the app.
Open the Google Play Store (Android) or App Store (iOS), search for Microsoft Teams, and tap 'Update' if a newer version is available.
If updating and clearing the cache does not work, uninstall the Microsoft Teams app entirely, restart your mobile device, and download a fresh copy from your respective app store.
Verify Cross-Platform Availability and Report the Issue
If local troubleshooting fails, you will need to diagnose whether this is a known bug in the current mobile build and escalate it to support.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why can I see SharePoint comments on desktop but not on the Teams mobile app?
This discrepancy is typically caused by outdated mobile app cache data, pending app updates, or a temporary synchronization bug specific to the mobile build of Microsoft Teams.
Will clearing my Teams mobile app cache delete my chat history?
No, clearing the app cache only removes temporary files used to load the app faster. Your chat history, channel posts, and shared files are stored in the cloud and will reload once you sign back in.
Are SharePoint news likes supposed to sync immediately in Teams?
Yes, likes and comments are designed to sync in real-time across both platforms. If there is a delay, it is usually due to network connectivity issues or a disruption in the integration between SharePoint and Teams.
How do I find my current Teams mobile app version to report a bug?
Open the Teams mobile app, tap your profile picture, navigate to 'Settings', and look for the 'About' section at the bottom of the menu to find your specific app version and build number.
